Q6548540 Lily B. McBeth (August 20, 1934 – September 24, 2014) was an American transgender teacher from Tuckerton, New Jersey. She was born William B. McBeth and as part of her transition underwent sex reassignment surgery in 2005. Her actions were hailed as a model of tolerance and acceptance of transgender Americans. She had three grown children from a previous marriage of 33 years. She was a retired medical sales & marketing executive. She was an active surfer, sailor, skier and duck hunter. As a soldier, she served in the U.S. Army as a Senior Medical Corpsman with a tour duty in Alaska. She said that she had always perceived herself as female and identified with other women. She said that for many years, she was afraid to address her transgenderism and felt that her first priority was keeping her family together for the sake of her children..Mcbeth worked as a substitute teacher at Little Egg Harbor Township School District, Pinelands Regional School District and Eagleswood Elementary School District for five years prior to her transition and returned after completing surgery to resume her teaching career. Some in the community did not think she should have been allowed to return to teaching. One parent took out a full-page advertisement in a local newspaper alerting parents to what had happened. Parents expressed fear that some of her students would not understand transgenderism. After listening to parents and citizens providing public input, the school district board decided to uphold their previous 4 to 1 vote for her reinstatement. This decision was hailed and criticized by politicians, journalists, and activists around the world. While she continued working as a substitute in Eagleswood School District she reapplied and was put on the substitute teachers list in the Pinelands Regional School in Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, in fall 2006. The School Board appointed her to this position after a meeting at which they heard no negative comments; the vote to accept her was unanimous, with one member abstaining.In 2009, McBeth retired from substituting, claiming that she had received fewer substituting assignments, which she attributed to being a trans woman. She was involved in local theater productions, church choir, and volunteering to re-establish clam colonies in Barnegat Bay.McBeth died on September 24, 2014, at the age of 80.
Q7249256 Project Puffin is an effort initiated by Dr. Stephen W. Kress of the National Audubon Society to learn how to restore puffins to historic nesting islands in the Gulf of Maine. It was started in 1973 when puffins were nesting in only two locations in Maine — Matinicus Rock and Machias Seal Island. The project began with an attempt to restore puffins to Eastern Egg Rock Island in Muscongus Bay, about 6 miles (9.7 km) away from Pemaquid Point. The restoration efforts are based on the fact that young puffins usually return to breed on the same island where they hatched.Young puffins from Great Island were transplanted to Eastern Egg Rock when they were about 10–14 days old. The young puffins were then nested in artificial sod burrows for about one month. Audubon biologists placed handfuls of vitamin-fortified fish in their burrows each day. As the young puffins reached fledging age, they received identification tags so they could be recognized in the future. After spending their first 2–3 years at sea, it was hoped they would return to establish a new colony at Eastern Egg Rock rather than Great Island.Between 1973 and 1986, 954 young puffins were transplanted from Great Island to Eastern Egg Rock and 914 of these successfully fledged. Transplanted puffins began returning to Eastern Egg Rock in June 1977. To lure them ashore and encourage the birds to explore their home, wooden puffin decoys were positioned atop large boulders. The number of young puffins has gradually increased. In 1981, four pairs nested beneath boulders at the edge of the island and the colony had increased to 37 pairs in 2001. The total population reached 104 pairs in 2012.

Q2823297 α-Parinaric acid is a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid. Discovered by Tsujimoto and Koyanagi in 1933, it contains 18 carbon atoms and 4 conjugated double bonds. The repeating single bond-double bond structure of α-parinaric acid distinguishes it structurally and chemically from the usual "methylene-interrupted" arrangement of polyunsaturated fatty acids that have double-bonds and single bonds separated by a methylene unit (−CH2−). Because of the fluorescent properties conferred by the alternating double bonds, α-parinaric acid is commonly used as a molecular probe in the study of biomembranes.

Q3998983 The Triple Alliance of 1788 was a military alliance between Great Britain, Prussia and the United Provinces. Great Britain saw it as necessary to maintain the balance of power, and Prussia was hoping for the territorial gains. The alliance was primarily aimed at the Russian Empire, which stood to increase its influence with its looming victory over the Ottoman Empire. Due to efforts of Russian diplomacy, particularly in fostering parliamentary dissent in Great Britain, where the main proponent of action against Russia, William Pitt the Younger, lost support, the Alliance fell apart before it was ready to engage in planned military action against Russia.

The temple's sangō prefix is Myōken-san (妙見山).The origin of the temple is not certain, although there are two prevalent theories, namely that: 1) it was built in 622 AD by Prince Yamashiro in his wish for his father, Prince Regent Shōtoku, to recover from an illness, or 2) it was built in 670 by three monks – Kudara Kaihōshi, Enmyōshi and Shimohishinmotsu – as part of the reconstruction of Hōryū-ji, which had burned down that same year.The original date of construction is unclear, while studies so far suggest it was in the seventh century. The temple was a designated national treasure until the last remaining original structure of the complex, the three-story pagoda, was hit by lightning in 1944, and burnt to ground. The current pagoda is a reconstruction from 1975, and holds the original reliquary that was saved from the fire in 1944.The temple holds six Buddhist statues that are designated important cultural assets.

Q9697440 Carlota De Camargo Nascimento (Loty) (October 7, 1904 – July 2, 1974) was a Brazilian sculptor and poet.Carlota was born in Sergipe, Aracaju, Brazil. She studied in Escola Nacional de Belas Artes under the great master and director of the school Rodolfo Bernardelli (1852–1931), an innovator in the teaching of arts in Brazil.Carlota de Camargo Nascimento signed her works as Loty. She was one of the pioneering women to do sculpture in Brazil, an art generally confined to the male sex. Her name is included in the Brazilian Dictionary of Artists (Dicionário Brasileiro de Artistas Plásticos) by Walmyr Ayala and in the bibliography of the Art Exhibitions (Salões de Artes Brasileiros) of the 30's, 40's and 50's.She received many important prizes in the most prestigious exhibitions in those decades, including the Golden, the Silver and the Bronze Medals of the Salão Nacional de Belas Artes. Among other exhibitions of relevance to the panomora of the arts in the country then, Carlota participated in the 38º Exposição Geral de Belas-artes, also denominated as Salão Revolucionário (Revolutionary Exhibition) or Salão of 31.In 1930, the President Vargas political regime appointed new directors to the areas of Education and Culture: Rodolfo Garcia was nominated director of the Museu Histórico (Historical Museum) and Biblioteca (Library); ; Luciano Gallet was appointed director for the Music Institute and Lucio Costa was the new director for the School of Fine Arts. Lucio Costa was then only 28 years old, a very risky choice. But, in less than two years, during which he remained as head of the School, he completely revolutionized the teaching of art in Brazil. He organized the Salão de 31, the first official Fine Arts Salon open to modern artists. Lucio was very didactic both in the way he reshaped teaching (suggesting a new alternative, without discarding the previous one – the students become responsible for the final choice of the method of teaching and learning ) and as the proposer and organizer of the Salão de 31. In the Salao de 31 he allowed and promoted a comparison between the more academic artists and the moderns, exhibiting their work side by side, thus innovating also in the language of the exhibition itself. The participation of Carlota in the Salão of 31 is thus described:There is a young artist for whom I reserve a special reference for the great effort and admirable proof of talent: it is Carlota de Camargo Nascimento. Carlota is present in the Salon with a painting of a lady, a head of a child, a bust of a yound lady, two nude studies, all build with sobriety and beauty, and perfect knowledge of the technique. She also brought to the Salon two small nude studies enveloped in a very fine feeling, a harmony similar to that with which the French sculptors treat their subject. These are works that force sculpture to go further to more daring experiments, and Carlota should prepare more pieces, in the same vein, but in larger scale for the next Salons. (VIEIRA, Lucia Gouvêa, Salão de 1931. Marco da revelação da arte moderna em nível nacional. Rio de Janeiro, Funarte. p. 29).Medalhas de Prata e Ouro no Salão Nacional de Belas Artes (Anos 30 e 50)Fonte: SIQUEIRA, Dylla R. 42 Anos De Premiações Nos Salões Oficiais, 1934-1976. Rio de Janeiro: FUNARTE, 1980. p. 21-24,Carlota lived and be friended many important names of the panorama of Brazilian Art, among poets, painters and sculptors. Among her closest friends were Oswaldo Teixeira (1905–1974), painter and director of Museu Nacional de Belas Artes; the poet and immortal Olegário Mariano (1889–1958), who composed the famous verses for one of her sculptures; the symbolist poet Gilka Machado (1893–1980); the painter (1900–1967); the painter José Pancetti (1902–1958), one of the key names in the Bernardelli group; and, in Portugal, one of the country's leading sculptors, Teixeira Lopes (1866–1942). All of these artists exchanged presents of their craft with Carlota.Some of Carlota's pieces are in Uruguay and Argentina.Among the main works, there are:1. Jaguarary ( 1933; inspired in the poem Jaguarary by Olegário Mariano - four verses are at the bottom of the work).2. Cacique (1950) (sold to Uruguay).3. Ritmo Eterno4. Fim da Jornada (1944).5.

Q25205917 The Nishnabotna River Bridge is located southwest of Manilla, Iowa, United States. It carries traffic on 310th Street over the Nishnabotna River. Steel was in short supply during World War II as a part of the war effort. Many bridges built across the state were built in this era with timber, especially small-scale bridges. Heavy flooding washed out 27 bridges and culverts in Crawford County in May 1945. The county board of supervisors used emergency funds to build new bridges. They bought several steel superstructures from the Des Moines Steel Company to replace the wash-out spans. The bowstring arch-truss structures appear to have been designed by H. Gene McKeown, a civil engineer from Council Bluffs. This bridge is one several similar structures built in the county, and one of five that still remain. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Much of her administration was defined or heavily influenced by actions set in motion by her uncle, Peter the Great, such as the continuation of lavish architectural advances in St. Petersburg, continued funding of the Russian Academy of Science, and measures which generally favored the nobility, such as the repeal of a primogeniture law in 1730. In the West, Anna's reign was traditionally viewed as a continuation of the transition from the old Muscovy ways to the European court envisioned by Peter the Great. Within Russia Anna's reign is often referred to as a "dark era".
